Plugins don't have direct access to the doc_array of document.h
(except they "fetch" the pointer explicitly). But plugins can acces the
doc_array via the geany_data structure and therefore the doc_array
macro exists. Without the macro there will be many undefined references
to doc_array because the doc_array from document.h isn't available for
plugins.

Maybe it is a bit confusing because of the same names for the
variable, field name and the macro but it works ;-).

Enrico
